It seems that Bryan has
lrolted the democratic party
in Nebraska. This is the ba
sest ingratitude, in view of
the fact, that this loquacious
and inconsistent gentleman
has been thrice honored as the
democratic nominee to the
highest office in the gift of
the republic.
In our last week’s issue, we
inadvertently placed on the
editorial page, in the form of
reading matter, a foriegn ad
wtisement, which placed us
lit the attitude of editorially
advising our people to trade
away from home. We desire
to state this error was not dis
covered until the editorial
page had been published.
Our advertising space, like
all other papers, is for sale;
we shall always endeavor to
devote our editorial columns
especially for the upbuilding
. of our home town.
I
Be Optimistic
It is a fact, not to he deni
ed, that the cotton crop in
our vicinity is unusually short
this season, hut what is the
ust( to go about with a face as
long as your arm, croaking
and complaining, fostering a
pessimistic spirit, and by your
attitude and influence helping
to create dissatisfaction and
lack of confidence, that is al
ways detrimental to any com
munity.
| The “knocker” is never a
■progressive man. The pessi
mist never sees the silver Hil
ling to a cloud.

B. In a great many respects.
Beware the most fortunate
■people in the world. There
bno such a thing as a crop
Bilure in this country.
Bpor years and years, we
have made good average crops,
while in other portions of our
country they have suffered
the direst calamities, by de
structive floods, parching
drouths, or other agencies of
destruction.
Undisturbed by earthquakes,
storms, cyclones and famine,
and surrounded by natural
environments, that contribute
to the welfare of the human
race, holding out to each in
dividual, an opportunity to
reap the reward of his own la
bor. We should be grateful
for the bountiful gift of nature
and realize, that in the econ
omy of God’s great law, it is
some time necessary to visit
us with misfortunes, in order
to develop our characters suf
ficiently to meet the greater
responsibilities of life.
The Manufacturers Record
of September 20th, in speak
ing of the South, applies the
following passage of scripture
quoted from Dent. Bth: 7,8
and Uth, verses:
“A good land, a land of
water, of fountainsand depths
that spring out of valleys and
hills: a land of wheat, and
barley, and vines and fig
trees, and pomegranates; a
land of oil. olive and honey;
a land where thou shalt eat
without scarceness, thou shalt
not lack anything in it: a land
whose stones are iron and out
of whose hills thou mavest
dig brass.”
Who can say this is not ty
pical of our grand old state of
Georgia? Yet there are some,
who will put on a grave-yard
appearance, and “murder
sleep” when they are called
upon to meet a little reverse
in fortune. Other miserable
cowards will actually commit
suicide, and plunge their souls
into eternal hell, when they
see the luxuries of life slipping
away from them.
